Does the Apple Watch / Blood Oxygen have active continuous monitoring...for example, for overnight use while sleeping? Does is support push (or other) alerts to notify others if the value goes out of range (e.g. too low)?

If this is an actual medical issue for you then you need a medical grade pulse-ox monitor attached to a monitoring station, contact your medical provider to discuss options.
If it is of more academic interest an Oura ring has an option to measure blood oxygen continuously and product a report of a series of readings showing deviations over the course of a night.
The Blood Oxygen app on your Apple Watch will occasionally measure your blood oxygen levels if background measurements are on. This will usually happen when you are not moving. Depending on how active you are, the number of readings collected each day and the time between these readings will vary. Blood oxygen measurements use a bright red light that shines against your wrist, so it may be more visible in dark environments. If you find the light distracting, you can turn off background measurements.

Thank you for your reply. Does it support push (or other) alerts to notify others if the value goes out of range (e.g. too low)?
I didn't see anything about that in the article.
